Originally identified as a substrate (ChA or choline)-noncompetitive, slowly reversible choline acetyltransferase inhibitor (human ChAT/BuChE/AChE IC50 = 88 nM/33.3 μM/48.6 μM; does not affect mAChRs, AChE, ChE, CrAT, ganglionic or skeletal muscular nAChRs), α-NETA is a fluorescent molecule (Ex 255 & 297 nm; Em 427 nm) also known for its trace amine-associated receptor 5 (TAAR5 EC50 = 150 nM) agonist and chemokine-like receptor-1 antagonist (IC50 = 375 nM; 7 nM chemerin-induced CMKLR1 β-ARR2 recruitment) potencies both in cultures and in animal disease models in vivo (3-20 mg/kg via ip. or sc. in rats & mice).
Potent ChAT inhibitor, TAAR5 agonist, CMKLR1 (ChemR23) antagonist with in vivo efficacies in animal disease models.
Studies from our laboratory have revealed an important role for the maternal diet and the dietary protein source in the development of hypertension and renal injury in Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats. The current study sought to compare salt-induced hypertension, renal
It is known that trace amine-associated receptor 5 (TAAR5) is expressed in various regions of the central nervous system. However, very limited information is available on the behavioral effects of TAAR5 activation and the TAAR5 functional role, in general. We
Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a well-defined component of human event-related potentials that reflects the pre-attentive, stimulus-discrimination process and is associated with involuntary switching of attention. MMN-like responses detected in animal models provide an opportunity to investigate the neural mechanisms of
BeWo choriocarcinoma cells were cultured onto solid microcarrier beads, packed into syringe barrels and superfused. The unidirectional choline uptake across the microvillous membrane of the cells was measured by a rapid single-circulation paired-tracer dilution procedure using methyl[3H]choline with D-[14C]mannitol as
Therapies that target leukocyte trafficking pathways can reduce disease activity and improve clinical outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS). Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a widely studied animal model that shares many clinical and histological features with MS. Chemokine-like receptor-1 (CMKLR1)
